Walmart experiences water outage after contractor cuts water line

Walmart experienced a water outage this afternoon after a contractor cut a water line located behind the store on Keyser Avenue in Natchitoches. The contractor called in a private plumbing company to repair the leak around 3pm. A utility pole located next to the cut line required stabilization while a repair hole was dug. The City of Natchitoches Utility department arrived with rapid response to hold the pole while the repairs were made.
